The Man Who Knew Too Much?

Today I went back to my old blog which posted all about the general knowledge about the world. and I came across this. Since this blog will be mixed up, I decided to share with you all here.

Maybe in the web site you saw before this article, and nothing to be curious that human will seek for the best of all kind of nature can give, a good example is this. Maybe some day you will look into the internet with no topic and suddenly cross in mind to search something outstanding and extraordinary. Than the topic will be the biggest boat, the fastest car, the deepest ocean, the biggest living creature and what common is the smartest human. What the world justified, he is one of the most intelligent people who ever lived.

William James Sidis in 1914.

One can make a case that history's smartest person was William James Sidis (1898-1944), the son of Ukrainian-Jewish immigrants to the U.S. He reportedly learned to read at a year and a half and write at three, and finished a seven-year public school course in six months at the age of six. With an estimated ratio IQ ratio of 250-300.

Nevertheless, the young Sidis could read the New York Times at 18 months,^[3] reportedly taught himself eight languages (Latin, Greek, French, Russian, German, Hebrew, Turkish, and Armenian) by age eight, and invented another, which he called Vendergood.

Sidis entered Harvard at 11 and gave a brilliant two-hour lecture to the mathematics club on four-dimensional bodies. In later life, however, Sidis become some critics to offer him as the classic example of a prodigy pushed too hard. He died of a brain hemorrhage at the age of 46.
